Ladies, Ladies…All the Ladies!!

One day while the kids were napping the Lord allowed me to see all the little things that make a difference in my children’s lives.  As the psalmist, David, saw God in his profession..”The Lord is my Shepherd…..(Psalm 23)”…. I began to see a parallel in what He does for me and in what I do for my kids and I praised the Lord for showing me the value in being a mom.  I may have sent some of you this before, but for some reason I feel like the Lord wants me to share this again.  May you be encouraged today to continue glorifying the Lord in YOUR profession—being a mommy.

The Lord is my mommy, I am dearly loved

I am sung to and read to– always kissed and hugged

When I’m weary from my day, you help me take a nap

Right before my tummy aches, you’ve prepared a little snack

You know it’s very cold outside before I make the door

You clothe me in my scarf and coat….all I’ll need to keep me warm

You are here, I have no fear, for you tightly hold my hand

and when I fall, you grab me up…never do I land

when we don’t see eye to eye , when my anger starts to brew

You turn and say, in a gentle way ”but I know what’s best”..and you do!

You kiss away my boo-boos, you wash me clean each night

All the tears upon my cheek, your hand has wiped them dry

I don’t thank you enough for being there for me, every minute of the day

What a legacy you’re leaving, what a blessing to be living…..in the home that you have made

 Invest in the Lord and He promises to give you wisdom and guidance in how to invest in your children and families.  Let us all leave a legacy, and may that legacy be a life lived for Jesus Christ.
